This is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. It is situated where The 45th parallel crosses Romania.
Located on the national road DN57B, on the Miniș Valley (Caras Severin County), at 452 km from Bucharest, the most beautiful waterfall from Romania is fed by the Bigar spring. The water, rich in limestone, springs from the underground, from a 50 m high rock, and crosses the Bigar cave, flowing into the Minis river.
The short road to the spring is also very beautiful, the stony path ending with a wooden bridge (which crosses the river), a bridge that connects the road with the entrance of the cave.
We had the privilege of visiting the region in the end of September, when the autumn chromatic was very beautiful. The period benefited from some rainfall, the day of visiting being also a wet one. This allows us to admire a wonderful view of the waterfall and to take spectacular photos at sunset.
The legend says that those who drink water from the famous waterfall, will benefit of love forever. In 2013 the site The World Geography considered Biger waterfall the most impressive world's waterfall in a ranking of the most beautiful waterfalls.
In 2000, the Biger waterfall was declared protected area of national interest, being part of the Nera Canion National Park.
Unfortunately, on June the 7th 2021, a part of the waterfall collapsed. The travertine and muscles that had accumulated over the time had increased in size and weight, and the ground gave up. (https://www.hotnews.ro/stiri-mediu-24845246-cascada-bigar-prabusit.htm).
